Photography: A Feminist History

Whether working in the studio or on the front line, women have contributed to every aspect of photography's short history. For some, gender is front and centre; for others, it's merely incidental. Mapping photographic developments against shifting gender rights and roles, this book shines a light on how photography has borne witness to women's movements and made the causes for which they fight visible. Photography - A Feminist History features over 140 photographers, with ten thematic essays, and extended profiles on 75 key practitioners, many informed by conversations with the author.
